From the Kickstarter page :

“Welcome everyone, my name is Lewis Collins and this is a small project of four traditionally sculpted miniatures aimed at gamers and painters. the models have been sculpted so that they can be base coated and washed and look great, whilst at the same time providing a lot of enjoyment for painters who want to take them that bit further.

Living in Nottingham means that I’m lucky enough to live down the road from the casting company, which means i get to quality check every cast and oversee the whole process, and being a painter and hobbyist myself i know what type of quality I expect from products, and only the best will do!”

Pledges start at £6 for a miniature or you can get all four for £20. You can pledge here.

I do like these smaller projects as I still believe that Kickstarter was created as a platform to help people realize their ideas and dreams – not as a pre-order site for the big companies . Support the little guy and help make their projects a reality. Here’s a closer look at each miniature:

It’s a 1-5 player game where a Witch Master plays against the heroes and as such it can be describes a 1 v many game, as there will always be one player as the Witch Master. Check out the Kickstarter video below:

“As the many planes of existence turn and churn, occasionally worlds come into alignment. For brief moments in the multiverse’s timescale, these Conjunctions allow objects to slip from one world to another, sometimes unnoticed, sometimes causing chaos.

Dark Rituals: Malleus Maleficarum is the next exciting miniatures based game from DG Games Entertainment. Dark Rituals is an asymmetric “One vs Many” game for 2 to 5 players, with a solo mode. A small band of Heroes defends villagers from a coven of Witches. One player, the Witch Master, controls the Legion of Darkness. With two players, the second player plays the Heroes in a strictly competitive game and up to three more players may join in, each taking a Hero to help battle the Witch Master. A solo mode is also available, where the Witch Master battles game-controlled Heroes.”

What’s in the box?

At the time of posting a number of stretch goals have already been unlocked. So let’s take a look at what you’re getting:

From the Kickstarter page:
“The stage has been set, now the rest of the players can begin to emerge…

The Cerberus Team are delighted to introduce a new range of richly designed and highly detailed characters. Following the success of our first Kickstarter, we would like to welcome you to join us on a new adventure.

Our second wave of miniatures delves deeper into our storyline, continuing on from the models from our original cast. Mortals’ Reckoning sees the action of one man, Lazarus, start a chain of events that puts the mortals back in charge of their own fates.

The characters below are linked to two of our main villains, The Kyrios and The Slaver. But rest assured each new personality is a power house in their own right…”

Pledges start at £9 and you can do so here. Check out the miniatures below. I really like Raktagar and Zilla.
